Two Shoes on the Sand
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Two shoes on the sand, side by side
No one told them to match the tide
Mine keeps drifting, yours stays put
You're the still one, I'm the foot

[Chorus]
Lyla, you're the calm I chose
Steady where the current goes
Every tide comes back to you
Lyla, that's the truest thing I knew

[Verse 2]
Salt gets into everything we own
Even how I say your name at home
Water pulls at every mark we make
But you're the one thing steady on this lake

[Pre-chorus]
I keep losing my footing on the way
Every step gets swallowed by the spray
But something in me always finds the shore

[Chorus]
Lyla, you're the calm I chose
Steady where the current goes
Every tide comes back to you
Lyla, that's the truest thing I knew

[Bridge]
I don't need the sand to stay
I just need you close, come what may
Let the water take the rest away

[Chorus]
Lyla, you're the calm I chose
Steady where the current goes
Every tide comes back to you
Lyla, that's the truest thing I knew

[Outro]
The tide will take our footprints soon
But you're the one I'll still find at noon
